A startup launched in the kitchen? Who said it has to be in the garage? Yep! ERT's back to its root in Palo Alto this month
presenting you one of the startup founders in Silicon Valley who practically launched her site from her kitchen! Plus an iPhone startup replanted from Netherland to Silicon Valley to demo a super fun music app, and Spork, a food/restaurant app, pre-beta, Dan Cheung will come get your feedback.

::Aihui Ong, founder of Love With Food
::Ronald Mannak, founder of Yobble (we are bringing him back from SF to PA cause I want south Bay folks to meet him too!)
::Dan Cheung, founder of Tagifi, creator of Spork
:Aihui Ong (@aihui), Top Chef at Love With Food and a long time member of ERT, created this site because her tummy is never happy with the "plain-old" grocery-store selection!
Love With Food is -
1 cup Passion,
1/2 cup Cook,
1/2 cup Food Maker,
1 bag of Love
Mix well and a delicious foodie social site is served by bringing together foodies from all walks of life and celebrate the passion of home cooks and food makers. Serve immediately at
